PR Points

By utilizing the SHK Line 'Sea Line Network,' customers can access international logistics services connecting Japan with China and South Korea, as well as domestic logistics services leveraging a nationwide ferry network. Shifting freight transport to ferry-based modal shift not only contributes to carbon neutrality but also addresses labor-related challenges known as the '2024 issue'—such as truck driver shortages, rising labor costs, and avoiding accidents and traffic congestion on land routes—without a doubt.
